The nation�s chief accident investigator said Wednesday that her agency
still doesn�t know who worked on the panel that blew off a jetliner in
January and that Boeing�s CEO told her that he couldn�t provide the
information because the company has no records about the job.
�The absence of those records will complicate the NTSB�s investigation
moving forward,� National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer
Homendy wrote in a letter to a Senate committee that is looking into the
Jan. 5 accident on a Boeing 737 Max 9 operated by Alaska Airlines.
Boeing issued a brief statement vowing, as it has many times, to support
the investigation.
Homendy told senators last week that the NTSB asked Boeing for security-
camera footage that might help identify who worked on the panel in
September, but was told the video was overwritten after 30 days � months
before the blowout.
Boeing said Wednesday that it�s standard company practice to erase video
after 30 days.
Homendy�s latest letter to the Senate Commerce Committee was a follow-up
to her appearance before the panel last week. Shortly after her testimony ended, Boeing provided names of 25 employees who work on doors at the
company�s 737 factory near Seattle.
She said, however, the company still hasn�t said which of the workers
removed the panel, which plugs a hole left when extra emergency doors are
not required on a plane. She said she even called Boeing CEO David
Calhoun.
�He stated he was unable to provide that information and maintained that
Boeing has no records of the work being performed,� Homendy wrote. Boeing
did not comment on the phone call.
There is a drawback to NTSB�s focus on identifying specific workers,
Homendy conceded. She worried that it could discourage people from talking about the matter with investigators, and so she told her staff to protect
the identities of Boeing employees who come forward.
